The Exorcist: The 40th Anniversary Revised Limited Edition

Squire. That's my name.

For a while, I'd search the "Introduction" thread to get people's names, but it's too long to do that anymore. Jungle Holocaust and Zombie Holocaust have been on my must watch list for awhil now, I just haven't had the time. Eaten Alive was a possibility because it was Tobe Hooper, but I decided not watch it.

Yeah, but there's Eaten Alive by Hooper and the inferior Eaten Alive cannibal flick. I liked the Hooper film so much I bought the anniverary edition! It's great.

Today I’m extremely pleased to unveil Caniglia’s incredible cover artwork for the Lonely Road Books special Limited Edition of The Exorcist: The 40th Anniversary Revised Edition by William Peter Blatty:

Warning: The cover does not get LESS creepy when you view the larger version!!! I think Caniglia was easily THE BEST choice for someone to create art for a book like The Exorcist!!!

[RJK1981]

Absolutely love that cover!!!

[srboone]

Can't wait for this one! I visited Canigila's website before buying it and that's what decided it for me. The art work is aboslutely beautiful!

Really like this cover.haunting and fasinating. So looking forward to the rest of the art work as well as the book.2012 is going to be great.

Awesome, love Caniglia's art

[theenormityofitall]

Glad I got this one!

Caniglia has turned in all of the color interior artwork, and he really went overboard. The original plan was 6 pieces, but there's definitely more than that here. I'm going to break the budget a bit to include ALL of them.

The book is being designed now -- it took forever to get the final files from the trade publisher because they like to drag their feet on these things -- but we're moving along at a good clip now.

Also, a special unannounced bonus for the Lettered Edition customers: there will be entirely different artwork on the Lettered Edition's DJ.

YYYYYAAAAYYYYYY bonus art!!! Thanks Brian!!

I want this one! It will be my second The Exorcist limited, except my first one is a lettered from Gauntlet. I keep wondering how much it's worth...

[RJK1981]

Can't wait to see the art and to have this book in my hands!

[theenormityofitall]

I hope it's bigger than my lettered. It's nice but back then I think they were purposely making books smaller for financial reasons, but they still are not including slipcases for limiteds which I really don't like! It seems only King's Way Press is but the materials are not high quality and I don't think I'll be buying anymore of them (Dracula is the perfect example). Sorry Zach if you see this, but mine was a mess like many others were here.

Every Lonely Road Books title is slipcased or traycased. Check out the photos on the website for some samples:

The Exorcist: The 40th Anniversary Revised Limited Edition will have a 7 X 10 trim size. I don't have the final page count because we're still working on the design, but I'll post it when I do if I remember. The text should be VERY readable, though, if you have any concerns about that. These editions are meant to be read (if you want to!).
